# K2-Horizon-0.9B GGUF
Community GGUF quantizations of [IFM/K2-Horizon-0.9B](https://huggingface.co/IFM/K2-Horizon-0.9B).
☕ If you find this GGUF useful, please consider
buying me a coffee.
Your support helps cover the GPU costs of future releases.
Thank you for supporting this work.
## About K2-Horizon-0.9B
[K2-Horizon-0.9B](https://huggingface.co/IFM/K2-Horizon-0.9B) is IFM's compact
0.9B-class dense reasoning model. It has a 128K-token context window with YaRN
RoPE scaling and is intended for English and Chinese conversational, reasoning,
coding, science, and tool-use workloads. See the [official model
card](https://huggingface.co/IFM/K2-Horizon-0.9B) for the supported serving
stack, prompt conventions, and full evaluation protocol.

*Upstream K2-Horizon-0.9B benchmark results; image and results are from the [official model card](https://huggingface.co/IFM/K2-Horizon-0.9B).*
This is a quantization-only release. No training, fine-tuning, merging, or
weight modification other than GGUF conversion and quantization was performed.
## Files
| Quantization | File size (GiB) | A10M generation token/s | Validation | Recommendation / Notes |
|---|---:|---:|---|---|
| Q8_0 | 1.07 | 281.05 | Load/generate pass | Highest-fidelity option in this release. |
| Q6_K | 0.83 | 310.87 | Load/generate pass | High-fidelity local inference. |
| Q5_K_M | 0.72 | 316.41 | Load/generate pass | Balanced quality and memory. |
| Q4_K_M | 0.62 | 352.89 | Load/generate pass | Recommended starting point for general use. |
| Q3_K_M | 0.51 | 261.54 | Load/generate pass | Lower-memory profile; validate your workload. |
| Q2_K | 0.41 | 326.72 | Load/generate pass | Aggressive low-memory option. |
| IQ2_XS | 0.34 | 328.10 | Load/generate pass | Experimental low-memory profile. |
| IQ1_M | 0.29 | 343.17 | Load/generate pass | Experimental; instruction following and reasoning may degrade. |
| Q1_0 | 0.21 | 446.95 | Load/generate pass | Experimental / legacy minimum-memory option. |
Every file above was loaded and generated non-empty text in the K2 pre-release
llama.cpp runtime on an NVIDIA A10M. The A10M measurements were taken with
single-stream `llama-bench`, prompt 256, generation 64, batch/ubatch 512,
64 CPU threads, full GPU offload, and three repetitions on an otherwise idle
GPU. Low-bit files—especially Q2, IQ2, IQ1, and Q1—can materially reduce
reasoning, instruction following, and tool-call reliability; test the selected
file with the prompts that matter to you.
K2-Horizon support is pre-release in llama.cpp. The upstream full tool-aware
Jinja template uses constructs not yet parsed by the runtime revision used for
this release; the reproducibility folder includes the compatible single-turn
chat wrapper used for smoke testing. Tool calling is therefore not certified by
this GGUF release.
